Comment on Agfa Billy I, under $50 and contest ready by Tom Thomas

Thanx for posting your review of the Agfa Billy 1. I just picked one up yesterday at an antiques fair in Cadarousse, France. I paid too much comparing what I’ve seen on E-Bay comparable versions but mine looks nearly new and came with the leather case which is also like new. Lens looks clear but has some dirt around the outer edge on the front lens but bellows looks supple and like new as well, just some minor scratches and bit of corrosion on the outside. Major problem is that the focus know is frozen at 7 meters, and I mean stuck, stuck. German lubricants tend to turn to mud over time so some TLC will be necessary to release it without using WD40 all over the place. I rebuild old cameras as a hobby and shoot them when I can find the correct film. 120 film can be rewound on 620 spools for example. Luckily this Agfa is 120 already. I’m going to bring it to the US next week when I return to try it our on some Route 66 shots in Tulsa, OK.

Really late to this party, but wanted to thank you for this write-up! I just picked up a Billy 6.3 off of ebay for $22 and am really looking forward to running some film through it to attempt some classic imagery. I can see that the biggest challenge will be focusing. Thanks again!

Comment on How to Photograph the Moon by Graham Kean

Hi
Tried photographing the moon before looking for tips, using a Sony Nex7 with an old (20 years+) Canon fd300mm f2.8L. Absolutely concur with your advice. I set everything to manual, and guessed settings for first attempts and everything was massively overexposed! With the lens wide open I had to go to shutter speds of over 1/500 th second!
Here is a pic from UK last night. I also tried video, which produced a nice tracking effect – I speeded the playback on YouTube by 2 1/2 times to make it a bit more interesting, and also to fit the soundtrack. Hope you like the results…

Comment on 5 Tips for Acquiring Old Cameras by Bobbe Dannenbrink

Bobbe Dannenbrink — Fri, 21 Sep 2012 19:18:41 +0000

Hi: I have at least 4 of my husbands old cameras. He was a newspaper
editor, photographer, etc. He did everything but he loved photography.
I have an old Lord, made in Germany; a Rolleiflex bought in the 60′s from
Germany and a Baldalux (?), and a Minolta 110 Zoom. How can I find
an honest buyer. Or can you give me an idea if I should even think of
selling them.

I just doesn’t make sense to use a tool with ‘insta’ in its name to distribute something that have taken a lot of pp. If that’s the idea then why didn’t they just call in postprocessed-o-gram

Here’s my moon photo:

I used my Canon 600D with a 55-250mm lens, and your settings (aperture f/11, ISO 100 at 1/125).

I had no idea what I was doing and am really happy with the result!

Thanks so much for posting this
